My cancer has been one of the most influential teachers I have had in my life. The greatest lesson I have learned is that attitude is everything. If I say I am going to have a bad day today, I will most likely have a bad day. If I let myself believe I am too tired to get off the couch my head will stay on the pillow and my feet will never touch the floor.
Attitude is everything. When I lost my hair I embraced not having to shave or get a haircut. When chemotherapy robbed me I welcomed the opportunity to try new foods and flavor combinations. In a few weeks it will be time for surgery and I know it is going to knock me down. But when surgery knocks me down, I will get back up, come back stronger and dare cancer to try and push me down again. I refuse to simply exist. Life is meant to be lived, that is my attitude. Attitude is everything.
